| Soundwave said: lol at giving Sony credit for ripping off the Super NES controller + analog stick + rumble from the N64 controller. It's like hyping up a kid who stole his test answers from the kid next to him and declaring him a genius. |
Realy? let's see:
Analog Stick:
Nintendo didn't even have an analog stick; it was more of an optical tracker ball using a technology that has been completely abandoned.
It's an "interaction" that failed miserably to become standard. It was fragile, imprecise, and lacked button functionality. The design was so bad that it was abandoned. Most later controllers (including those from Nintendo) are designed similarly to the DualShock's analog sticks, with potentiometers.
The concept wasn't even Nintendo's; it was implemented much earlier by the XE-1 AP controller.
Nintendo didn't invent the concept and failed in its implementation. What more can be said?
Rumble:
Of course, every modern controller needs a vibration attachment, right? lol
Using internal motors is a design created by Playstation. This is the design that became the standard and influenced all subsequent controllers.
Nintendo's design died, is no longer implemented, it went extinct like Neanderthals.
Super NES controller:
Yeah, playstation copied this.
